Christie Says He’s ‘Growing Tired’ of Bridge Investigation

Governor Chris Christie said he’s “growing tired” of the New Jersey legislature’s investigation into politically motivated traffic tie-ups at the George Washington Bridge a year ago.

Speaking today in Trenton, the second-term Republican said Assemblyman John Wisniewski, co-chairman of the legislative panel investigating the scandal, is “just attempting to keep his name in the papers.”

Wisniewski and Democrats who control the legislature and the panel probing the scandal are “addicted to MSNBC” and are leaking information for publicity, the governor said. Christie decried the leaks, especially records of interviews his administration conducted with lawyers that were disseminated this month when he was traveling in Mexico.

“The fact is that they’ve been digging around for eight months now and have found absolutely nothing,” Christie, 52, told reporters in his State House office. “Wrap up your work. Do your job.”

The state Dems are leaking to MSNBC , and the Feds, who we haven't heard a peep out of until today, are leaking to NBC New York? Sounds like Christie's trying to do an end run (a metaphor, not a weight joke.)
